Hex sticker design for the 'altcheckr' R package. Just above centre are icons of a landscape and a check mark. Underneath is the text 'altcheckr'. Under that, the URL 'matt-dray.github.io/altcheckr'. The font is monospace and the text is in double quote marks inside angle brackets. Hex sticker design for the 'cran' R package. Has a picture of a herring fish in the centre, with stylised handwriting font that says 'cran'. Hex sticker design for the 'dehex' R package. Three bars of colour, blue, green and red, go from top left to lower right, where there's the word dehex. Hex sticker design for the 'dialga' R package. Five asterisks above the word 'dialga' in chunky all-caps. Hex sticker design for the 'ghdump' R package. A dump truck is tipping its load, a bunch of folder icons, into a pit. The text 'ghdump' appears in the upper right. Hex sticker design for the 'kevinbacran' R package. The word 'kevinbacran' is in italicised choppy handwriting style. Underneath is a network diagram of six nodes and seven edges that look like the initials 'KB'. The colour scheme is pinks and reds, like bacon, on a black background. The URL 'matt-dray.github.io/kevinbacran' is in the lower right. Hex sticker design for the 'oystr' R package. An oystercatcher bird is in the centre. To its lower-right is the word 'oystr' in a similar font to that used by the Transport for London for the Oyster card scheme. The blues are also the same as for the scheme. The URL 'matt-dray.github.io/oystr' is in the lower right. Hex sticker design for the 'pico' R package. An entirely red hex, with the word 'pico' in tiny letters in the centre. Hex sticker design for the 'quartostamp' R package. White background, light blue border, red flower stamp emoji in the center. Text 'quartostamp' in the upper left and the path 'mattdray.github.io/quartostamp' in the lower right. Hex sticker design for the 'r.oguelike' R package. Black background with bright green font, reminiscent of old computer terminal output. In the centre, a three-by-ten arrangement of hashmarks and periods, along with a single at symbol and dollar sign, which looks like a classic ACII tile-based roguelike game. The text 'r.oguelike' is underneath. Hex sticker design for the 'r2eng' R package. A black speech bubble on a blue background, with blue text in the bubble reading 'r2eng'. The URL 'matt-dray.github.io/r2eng' is in the lower right. Hex sticker design for the 'tamRgo' R package. Yellow-green sprites of a digital pet advance from left to right, from youngest to oldest, ending with a tombstone. The background is black, the border is also yellow-green. A pixellated font says 'tamRgo'. Hex sticker design for the 'trapinch' R package. An orange background and grey border are sampled from the official art of the Pokémon trapinch. A pixellated black zig-zag goes left-to-right above centre to represent the Pokémon trapnich's distinctive mouth. A pixellated font says 'trapinch' and underneath 'R interface to PokéAPI'.
